Chiropractic

Healing Starts Here

Here at Main St. Chiropractic, we work with your nervous system by analyzing your spine for any areas of dysfunction, and we address and improve nerve patterns in the joints and muscles so the body can naturally heal itself.

Unlike conventional chiropractic care, neurologically-based chiropractic care doesn’t just focus on adjusting the spine. We also give importance to ensuring the healthy functioning and balance of the nervous system. It is a hands-on, non-invasive and drug-free practice that safely and effectively helps relieve pain and improve the body’s overall function.

Your body’s inborn innate intelligence allows you to self-heal, self-regulate and adapt to every single moment of your life. Pain, symptoms, lack of movement, and other alarm signals in our bodies occur when the body’s natural ability to adapt to life is interrupted or interfered with. Chiropractors call this area of interference or broken communication pathways a subluxation.

Neurologically based chiropractors are trained to identify and remove subluxation through safe, specific, controlled impulses (called adjustments) which are applied to different areas of your body, primarily a joint of the spine, so that the brain can be better aware of your body and restore the nervous system’s ability to heal and function properly. Strengthening and healing our nervous system takes time, commitment, and patience.

For optimal health and quality of life, a chiropractor should be part of every Canadian’s healthcare team.

We’ve got your back!

MLA Insight Scans

Our team at Main St. Chiropractic utilizes innovative technology in addition to the Chiropractic adjustments to be able to assist in assessing your current level of health.

Each practice patient undergoes a series of neurological scans so we can track how well their nervous system is coping with the stresses of everyday life. This technology provide a detailed representation of your nervous system function, it creates accurate, scientifically backed and objective data. The scanning technology uses a combination of tools such as thermal scanning, EMG and HRV.

Thermal Scanning is used to assess temperature variability along the spine. Temperature is used as an indicator for where stress is building up in your body and how it may be affecting the function of your organs, glands, and blood vessels.

EMG (Surface Electromyography) is used to assess the function of the muscles directly related to the movement of your spine via the nerves that run through them. This test focuses on assessing the amount of energy needed to maintain your posture in an upright sitting position, as well as how that energy is distributed throughout the spine side to side. Over time, daily stress can continue to overwork these muscles, causing them to lose their support and mobility. Increased or decreased muscle tone and ineffective muscle control are visible on these scan results. Muscle fatigue and poor energy distribution are signs of a person’s entire health being under stress.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is used to assess your ability to adapt to the environment around you. For example, is your body caught in “fight or flight” due to emotional, physical, or chemical stress? Or is your body easily able to relax and adapt to stress appropriately? Adaptability to stress directly correlates to overall health outcomes, body ease, and the degree of central neural function.

Manual Adjustments

We utilize many manual techniques to help you achieve your goals at Main St. Chiropractic.

The doctor will set up contact and apply quick, gentle and a very specific impulse/thrust. You may or may not hear cavitations (gas being released from the joint).

Activator Methods™

An Activator is a chiropractic adjustment instrument designed to deliver a quick and specific impulse.

This is a very gentle adjustment which has a significant neurological effect.

The doctor places the instrument at a precise angle and uses it to deliver fast but low depth impulse to the body.
